| Pelican UV Systems Are NSF 55 Class B Certified |
back to top |
- NSF Certified Protection: Each system is independently tested and certified by NSF under standard 55 class B for guaranteed disinfection on city water supplies (16 m/J) and approved for use in cities requiring certified units, including Quebec, Canada.
- Affordable Certified Protection: Now you can get commerical quality NSF certification on affordable residental UV systems.
- All the benefits of UV Systems: These systems come with all the same benefits and features of the standard UV systems.
What does NSF 55 Class B Certification mean?
This standard establishes requirements for point-of-use (POU) and point-of-entry (POE) ultraviolet systems and includes two optional classifications. Class A (40 m/J) are designed to disinfect and/or remove microoganisms from contaminted water, including bacteria and viruses, to a safer level. Class B systems (16 m/J) are designed for supplemental bactericidal treatment of public drinking water or other drinking water, which has been deemed acceptable by a local health agency.

Great followup service
I purchased a Pelican PC1000 system with UV about (3) weeks and just finished the installation. Instructions and videos were quite good and helpful. Discovered some missing parts and contact Pelican service. I had the new parts within about (4) days and finished. Had some leaks but they were primarily in threaded items. I especially like this system because after 1000000 gallons (or five years) and it is time to replace the charcoal media you do not have to replace the entire canister as you would have to do with Aquasana.

Nice quality hardware
We have a contaminated well that we have not been able to permanently clean so this was cheaper than digging a new well. Great peace of mind now that our water is safe! O rings seemed a little big and required some fiddling to get them in properly. The fan is a bit irritating in an otherwise quiet kitchen, but I'm sure we will get used to it. The unit seems to stay pretty cool, maybe because the water volume is not enough to turn on the bulb fully. I probably would have not gotten the Pro for a single home since you can't turn off the fan or the system alarms. We installed 2 stages of filters and sample valves before and after so we can test if the unit is working and I'll post if it is not living up to its claims.

Farmers well
We are lucky in downeast Maine in that we have an abundance of sandy gravel left over from the last ice age. This makes for a great natural water filtration system. I have an 18 foot farmers well that has pretty good water. It's probably 150 year old left over from the old farm. It's clear, but I still have coli-form bacteria since it's considered surface run off. I plumbed the Pelican with PEXs and it was simple. No coli-form in our recent water test. Time will tell how it holds up..

Being Prepared For Unplanned Events
After having been told to boil water prior drinking or cooking as a result of water contamination several times a year we installed the Pelican UV 8 NSF unit to our existing Pelican Home System. We also added a 12" length of copper pipe as a heat sink as suggested. A month later the city issued another water advisement. No Problem!!!

Basic Pelican UV filter
The product seems to be very high quality. The instructions were clear and the package I received had everything in it that I needed for installation. Very simple installation and could be done by anyone that possesses very basic skills.

Easy to install.
I'm repairing a vacant house that has some really bad city water. I ordered a PSE1800 system and installed. During this process of installing the filters we have had 3 boil water orders from the city. So looked around a bit and decided to get UV device UV 8 NSF from Pelican . It was real easy to install into the PSE1800 system. Hopefully once we get the house livable it will keep us from boiling. Currently we are staving in our RV on the property using the filtered water from the house. So far all is working well

Pelican Basic UV-7
The glass sleeve was broken inside when the unit arrived and was unpacked. Customer service was immediately accessible and shipped a new sleeve and light which arrived within 36 hours. They were also very good about answering my questions before the purchase. AND - the installation and owners manual are first rate!

Great support in helping to determine what to buy!
We needed a UV sterilizer and there is just so much out there and such a huge range of prices, we needed help comparing products to fit our needs. Mike in sales at Pelican was extremely helpful and discussed options and differences with me. He absolutely earned my sale and trust.

Will this work to treat a well to a whole house with t coliform bacteria?
Asked by: benD
Depending on the quality of the water, and the UVT of the water, it will help with coliform. If you have not had your well tested yet, we recommend doing that first and then speaking to one of our water experts to discuss which option will work best.

we pump from a pond ,not a well. will this system require additional cleaning to address the additional algae from the pond.
Asked by: Rick
Since you are pumping from surface water, we recommend having the water tested, including a UVT test to determine the right system for your pond. You will likely need additional filtration equipment ahead of the UV to allow for proper disinfection.

We just had our well water tested and we have higher than recommended amounts of uraniam in the water. We are looking at the PUV-8 or PUV-16 for a whole house system. Will this work to remove uranium? We are at 103 ug/L if that helps. Thanks
Asked by: WilBuc
A UV system is for bacteria, not heavy metals. To remove Uranium from your water we recommend an RO system which is certified to reduce heavy metals.

The Pelican™ comes with a full, non-prorated 3-year warranty against manufacturer's defects on the power supply ; a 10-year guarantee on the UV chamber; and a 1-year warranty on lamps and sensors.
Note: Manufacturer's warranty and performance guarantees do not cover acts of God, misuse or abuse. All products must be used in accordance to the specific application. All warranties and performance guarantees are valid to the original purchases and purchaser's delivery location. Labor and/or cost of damage due to misuse or defective items are the responsibility of the purchaser. If you have not had a water test done before purchasing a system, a certified water test may be required for any warranty claims. Should your water test show contaminants unknown at the time of purchase or unknown to Pelican, this may void your warranty. Please contact your authorized Pelican Dealer for further details. Enviro Water Solutions, Inc. or its Authorized Dealers will not be liable for any circumstance for consequential or incidental damages. It is the purchaser's responsibility to ensure that the equipment is installed in compliance with all applicable building codes.
|
| Q. What is the difference between normal UV systems and Pelican UV Systems ? |
Pelican UV Systems are validated and certified under NSF 55 Class B, where other models are not. Validated models have a flow restrictor installed on the unit that limits the maximum flow, to guarantee a minimum 16 m/J dose @ 70% UVT according to the NSF standard which is acceptable for city water supply disinfection.
|
| Q. Will UV get rid of Iron Bacteria and/or Sulfur Reducing Bacteria? |
UV is not recommended for the disinfection of water with iron or sulfur bacteria. With over 600 different types of iron and sulfur bacteria, and the jelly-like membrane the bacteria have, the UV would not be able to properly penetrate the membrane of the bacteria to disinfect the water. It is recommended you look at a chlorine injection system with retention to kill iron or sulfur bacteria.
|
| Q. Is there a lot of maintenance required with a UV system? |
All you have to do is periodically clean the lamp sleeve and replace your lamp once a year - simple processes you can complete in minutes. For ease of handling the lamp and protective quartz sleeve are designed as one component, but can be replaced separately. No tools are required for maintenance.
|
| Q. What type of warranty do the Pelican UV Max Systems come with? |
The Pelican UV Max comes with a full five year warranty against manufacturer's defects on the power supply ; a ten year guarantee on the water chamber; and a one year warranty on lamps and UV intensity monitors.
|
| Q. Why is it recommended to pretreat the water before installing a Pelican UV Max System? |
A 5-micron sediment pre-filter is recommended to remove dirt and debris. The reason for this pretreatment is the quality of the water can not only affect the dosage of UV disinfection the system provides, it may also cause premature "sleeve fouling" which will require the sleeve to be cleaned more often, and may also damage the UV sleeve.
|
| Q. What makes the Pelican UV Max light more effective than other on the market? |
 The UV light is generated from a low-pressure, high-output lamp new to the residential and commercial UV market. These lamps provide a higher intensity of UV light making it possible to treat a given volume of water with smaller, more efficient units.
